The present invention relates to a heat exchanger (1) comprising: a heat exchange core bundle (3) in which a first heat-transfer fluid circulates, at least one inlet tank (5a) or outlet tank (5b) for a second heat-transfer fluid, at least one collector (7) arranged on the periphery of the heat exchange core bundle (3) and comprising a lateral wall (75) of which at least two portions (77) are folded over so as to fix the tank (5a, 5b) by crimping against the heat exchange core bundle (3), the lateral wall (75) following the contour of at least one corner of the heat exchange core bundle (7), said lateral wall (75) comprising, on each side of the corner, a folded-over portion (77) and comprising in the region of said corner a non-folded-over portion (79), the folded-over portions (77) being connected continuously to the non-folded over portion (79).
A heat exchanger comprising:
The heat exchanger as claimed in claim lone of the preceding claims, wherein the tank is crimped by the collector over at least one quarter of its length between two corners of the heat exchange core bundle.
